When Zheng Xiangming saw Li Dingguo's expression, he immediately realized that the situation of the war should be OK, otherwise Li Dingguo would not be so calm.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved again. However, he was still very worried after all, so he didn't hesitate to take the telescope immediately and looked at it under the guidance of Li Dingguo.

Zheng Xiangming had never seen the military high-power telescope before. He was shocked at this sight. However, at this moment, his attention was on the battlefield, and he did not care about the details of the telescope and immediately observed them carefully.

I saw that there were indeed more Japanese ships on the sea in the distance, and they were still chasing the Ming warships.

At first, Zheng Xiangming was very worried because he saw many Ming warships smoking.

As a result, after a closer look, Zheng Xiangming found that although the Japanese warships were indeed chasing the Ming warships, the key was that they could not be beaten! On the contrary, there were already many Japanese warships on the sea, either they could not be driven, or they were all going to sink. Many Japanese warships had to rescue the Japanese on the damaged warships.

What is this? Zheng Xiangming was very surprised to see it, so he opened his eyes wide and continued to stare at the battle situation on the sea.

After a while, he finally realized that it seemed that the Ming army's warships ran faster than the Japanese warships, and they did not have to worry about the wind direction and had many changes. Moreover, the Ming army's warships' artillery was more accurate.

In the several artillery battles that Zheng Xiangming saw, the iron bombs of the Japanese warship could not touch the Ming warship at all. However, most of the iron bombs of the Ming warships landed on the edge of the Japanese warships, and it was easy to hit the Japanese warships.

Another point is that the number of artillery on the Ming army's warships was obviously more than that on the Japanese army's warships.

"Okay!" When Zheng Xiangming was watching, he suddenly saw another Japanese warship hit by a Ming army bullet and broke a big hole, and he couldn't help but cheer immediately.

After watching this for a longer time, he discovered another feature.

The Japanese warship seemed to want to surround the Ming warships, and then close to the Ming warships and then carry out a gang jump battle. However, the Ming warships were very flexible and could not be surrounded by the Japanese warships at all, let alone approaching them.

Looking at this, Zheng Xiangming felt that it seemed like a cat was playing with a mouse, or it seemed like flying a kite?

When he saw this, he suddenly realized that the Ming warships were more powerful than Japanese warships and artillery, so he had to go out to fight because the sea was wider and it was easier to use this tactic to tease Japanese warships.

Before he knew it, a smile appeared on Zheng Xiangming's face, but he didn't know at all, and he was still observing the battle situation on the sea with all his attention.

……………………

The one who was completely in a mood was Shimazu Kutsu. At this time, he was so anxious that he was about to jump into the sea on the flagship.

He never expected that the Ming Dynasty warships were so powerful. Not only were they faster and more flexible, but they also had many artillery on the warships, with long range and high accuracy.

It was less than half an hour before the war started, and at least twenty Satsuma warships were hit. Each warship was hit, and another warship was dragged down to save people and exited the battlefield.

There are almost more than one hundred people fighting against Ming warships at sea, and the number is almost equal to that of Ming warships.

"You can't continue to fight like this anymore!" Shimazu Kuchi reminded himself in his heart, so he turned his head and looked back, and immediately ordered his subordinates to issue a banner, allowing the transport ship to force it to move closer to Naha Port and carry out landing operations.

Originally, he wanted to send warships to destroy the Ming Dynasty warships so that he could carry out landing operations safely. But now it seems that it is obviously impossible. He cannot be defeated in this battle, so he can only attack with force.

However, he did not expect that the Ming warships that had been wandering around had already discovered the Japanese transport ship in the distance.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty also thought that after destroying all the Japanese warships, the transport ships would have no resistance and could easily be captured. But unexpectedly, the Japanese transport ships seemed to be going to Naha Port.

So, after contacting Mr. Gu Sanmazi and Zheng Hongkui in flag language, they circled and turned to the Japanese transport fleet. There were even more than twenty ships who left the fleet and attacked the Japanese side during the period.

The Ming army warships suddenly changed their tactics, which made the Japanese warships frigid. On the one hand, they had to protect their flagships, and on the other hand, they had to protect their transport ships. However, their warships had to rely on the wind and could not turn as much as they wanted!

This naval battle is really different from a land battle. The Japanese on the Japanese warship could only watch the Ming warships easily attacking their flagships and transport ships, and were very helpless.

"Boom boom boom..."

With the rumbling cannons, a Japanese warship was hit within a while, and while losing its combat effectiveness, it would also drag down one.

On the Japanese transport ship, the Japanese soldiers were panicked when they saw the Ming warships attacking, and regardless of how far the muskets were shot, they fired at the Ming warships.

“Mush…”

The sound of muskets sounded on the battlefield, but there was no effect.

The Ming Dynasty warships were not stupid either. They would not lean over. They just kept a distance and bombarded transport ships, especially those transport ships that were emitting smoke, were first attacked.

This situation is really a cat playing with a mouse!

The technical advantages were particularly obvious in naval battles. Even the samurai of the Satsuma clan had high morale at the beginning, but when facing the Ming army's warships, they could only stare at them and be beaten passively.

When Shimazu Kutsu saw this scene, the despair in his heart was really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.

At this time, if God could give him a chance, he would say to Shimazu Kokuha, don’t send troops to fight the Ming army. If he had to add something to this sentence, he would never send troops to fight the Ming army, because the combat power of the navy is not at the same level at all, and there is no chance of winning at all!

However, at this time, Shimazu Kuto no longer cared about transport ships because the Ming warships attacked him. If the warships that protected him were not in battle, they would be bombed by the Ming warships; but if they went to fight, they would not be able to catch up with the Ming warships, but they would still be bombed by the Ming warships.

In despair, Shimazu Kuto looked around the sea.

I saw that there were less than a hundred Satsuma warships on the entire sea surface warship. Most of them were still rescuing the Japanese on the broken warships. As for the Ming Dynasty warships, less than five warships left the battlefield and were dragged to Naha Port by other ships.

I really didn't expect that I thought I was convinced that I was able to seize the Ming army and even attacked Amami Island, but the Ming army used the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, so it was difficult to escape now!

At this moment, Shimazu Kuto looked up at the sky and let out a "ah" scream of despair.

When did the Ming Dynasty warships become so powerful? As far as we can see on this battlefield, the smokey warships of the Ming Dynasty are more flexible and fast than the sail warships of the Western Yi. How did the Ming Dynasty build it?

Also, there weren’t we who saw the Ming army’s artillery on the Korean battlefield before. But when was the range of the Ming army’s artillery so far and it was so accurate?

Why, why did the Ming army become so powerful?

However, God obviously would not give him any answers to these questions from Shimazu Kuto.

The sky was still blue, and there were some white clouds. But in Shimazu Kuto's eyes, it seemed that the image of the white cloud was very problematic, as if it was ridiculing him.

A silent laughter appeared on Shimazu Kuto's face. He pulled out his command knife and ordered his men: "Put the banner and let all ships escape their lives!"

After saying that, he wanted to commit suicide by seborrhea!

Because it is impossible for him to escape, even if he can escape, he will not be able to face Shimazu Kokusa!

Originally, Shimazu Kokuha was afraid of the Tokugawa shogunate and did not want to send troops. It was because Shimazu Kutou became the home of the Satsuma family and felt that it would be too difficult to be the home without Ryukyu's wealth, so he thought of a way to retake Ryukyu.

This was not a problem at first, but what I never expected was that although the Ming army had few troops, they were elite. Especially this warship, it was really too unexpected. This was not the crime of war!

Seeing that he was going to commit suicide by separatism, his personal guard wanted to stop him, but he scolded him.

In the end, Shimazu Kutsu committed suicide by separating himself amid the rumbling sound of cannons and the sound of gunfire in between!

Those who had the power of Japanese warships began to flee one after another, and they didn't care about the defeated Japanese warships. The same was true for transport ships, all of whom wanted to escape.

But how could the Ming army let them escape?

When Gu Sanmazi and Zheng Hongkui saw this, they immediately ordered a separate pursuit.

The reason why I had to escape from Amami Island was to set the battlefield on the main island of Ryukyu. In this way, the Ming army could give enough time and space to capture the fleeing Japanese ships.

……………………

On the Naha Port, Li Dingguo had already asked for a telescope from other generals to see. When he saw that the overall situation on the battlefield had been settled and the Ming warships had begun to pursue the fleeing Japanese ships, he put down the telescope and ordered the transport ship to go to the sea to catch people.

These prisoners are all young and strong, and they are short. It is best to go to mine for the Ming Dynasty and cannot be wasted!

Then, Li Dingguo put down the telescope and asked Zheng Xiangming, who was still watching with a telescope, but was obviously already looking at it, and said, "How is that prisoner camp? Is it done or not? It's all about to use it!"

Hearing this, Zheng Xiangming put down the telescope and said with joy: "It's going to be done soon, it's going to be done soon..."

As he was talking, he remembered something and immediately turned around and called his subordinates, asking his subordinates to go and see the prisoner camp quickly. They were about to imprison Japanese prisoners, so they couldn't hold back!
Chapter completed!
